How to do with the lack of RAM?

Dunno for your, but for me it's hell. After boot's over, i have about 100mb of RAM avalaible and as it gets around 40mb, phone gets very laggy (like, call starts 2minutes after pressing call button...)
That happens quickly of course, since most apps use around 20mb (browser much more)... After that, only thing to do is reboot... And that take some time! And it can takesSo is there a way to "improve" that?

What I have started doing in my routine is when I am done using an app instead of just pressing the home button I press the back button until I am all the way out of the app. Also I don't use a task manager anymore since it seemed to hurt my phone more then help.

I'm on doomlord kernel v14 with zRAM activated and Xperia s rom and when I'm not listening to music the ram free is around 200mb if you can I recommend you to flash that Rom doesn't has lot of internal apps and when flashing the firmware it gets a lot of internal memory free
Other would be that you buy ram manager pro from market its a very helpful app when to ram managing is related

Ups that Rom is only for GSM buy try that app or v6 supercharger script both helps a lot

I use v6 supercharger and titanium backup to move most of my apps to sdcard. I usually hover around 190-200mb free. And that is with all gameloft games, shadowgun, and about a total of 40+ games. I am also on stock Verizon rom with all bloat deleted via titanium. No lag anywhere. Everything is silky smooth.

Try doing a clean flash and delete all the stock crap apps, then try with Ram manager, on my play i feel that supercharger is not helping in games, niether on battery life, i will try using zram from doomkernel.

i think about your problem with ram
(every method need root, some recovery too)
U can make swap file/partition if u have enough fast sdcard (i heard that min. is class 4, but more=better). Partition can be created using recovery i think (I never need this). Swap file can be created using a-swapper or Swapper for Root - I've newer used it too

Why the hell do so many people ***** about the lack of this and that? You had to known what you were getting into BEFORE you bought the damn thing! If not your just a retard and should sell your phone and buy something you'll be happy with or just deal with it

yes flashing custom kernel is a good option to aid in that aspect.

I switched from an OG droid so having 512 mb of ram is a dream in my opinion. Lol. I appreciate what I have and that is a sweet gaming phone that cost me $35 because I got the phone free and only had to pay the CA tax on the full unsubsidized price of the phone. I love my phone to death! Sure I could do with more ram but it works just fine for me as is ^_^

have tried to use the true ancestor rom?? I use the version 1.4b, and I have alrederor of 250 mb of free ram with facebook, and browser active player reaches 200 mb!!

Where is my free ram?

Ok, i get it. I know how android control ram, free ram is wasted ram and if app needs ram then system will end some apps but seriously?

19 MB free? Is it normal? Apex launcher reload too often. There isn't any super consuming app on neither list nor in "cached app".
I just checked on SystemPanel Lite and there is "Interface 110MB"
I am using Paranoid Android 3+ with AK Purity kernel.
After reboot and I got 150-200 MB (Interface - 38 MB). Just wondering for how long.
How much free ram have you got just right now? How often your launcher reload?
Thanks

43 available ram at the moment. Launcher doesn't redraw often. Running aokp mr1 build 4.

271mb free. Launcher never redraws, system overall very snappy. Only leave Messaging, Phone and Chrome in recent apps.

My phones currently at just over a week uptime with 265mb free, and I never clear recent apps. Also no launcher redraws using nova prime.

What apps do you have installed? And I'm betting that pie or lmt or whatever it is is going to end up being responsible for a lot it memory usage too.
Also, your rom could just be heavy on theory usage. The more tweaks/customizations/options, the memory used.
Edit: also, how many widgets do you have?

While we're all throwing out our stats: 10 days, 9 hours uptime; 100MB free. I have no launcher redraws.

Are you using tibu to restore apps. I had the same problem until I did a clean install and let market auto restore. Then reboot phone and you should be good to go.

Thanks for posts guys.
It had to be memory leak or something. After restart it is quite better but still. I track memory usage from that moment and I think I have just too many apps. Many of them start their services and not end it. Right now I have cleared recent apps and 170mb free.
According to Play Store I have 107 apps installed

Maximum RAM memory is used

Hi
It may be stupid question, Although all apps are closed maximum ram is used. System uses the ram for backend running applications but how can I get free up some RAM memory?
Rom: AOKP
Thanks in advance
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Kill unnecessary services running in the bg. Recent apps is just a list of recent apps not running ones.
And since RAM is random access memory saying RAM memory is like calling an ATM an ATM machine.

How do I kill bg services?

Settings\apps\running.

I stopped the running apps & clear end cache processes but it didn't free only few MB

Noob question

If you root and rom your phone will it get rid of the 9gig of bloat? Like if the rom takes up 3 gigs will it free up 6 gigs that Samsung stock takes up or just add to it and make it 12 gigs used?

Rooting has nothing to do with bloatware or bloat, before and after rooting the free space will basically remain the same.
Rooting never affected the free or used space of any android phones.
With the stock or rooted stock rom the free space will not change.
Also your math about free and used space just don't seem to compute.
But in any case I wish you the best of luck.
(you will need it).............

Thanks. I wasn't using exact math just random numbers to get a point across. I just know our phone comes with 8gigs of free space and the other 8 gigs are being used by Samsung. My question was if we rooted are we able to take back some of that space Samsung uses or does the rom just take away from the space allocated to use by Samsung
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

After you root use a program called titanium backup to freeze or uninstall bloat.
Or once rooted flash a bloat free Rom.
Yes, you get the space back

That's where you are wrong, our phones come with 16gb and the free space is almost 10GB before you add any apps or anything else in it.
As soon as you root the phone and flash a good custom rom the free space will go up at least 500MB
because when the devs create these custom roms they usually remove a lot of bloatware.
A good custom rom after being debloated and deoxedized and whatever else the devs do to it takes up approx 1.2GB or less, usually less.

Thats what i wanted to know thank you.

Another way to improve battery life.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but. One thing I have done is remove all the clutter and sweep it under the rug. I never realized how much useless crap I actually install. Could be 150 to 200 apps. Recently what I did was rely on titanium backup for app storage. Basicly all I do on a fresh install is restore the bare minimum. For example, only the apps on my home screen. Anything more than that is too much. All the rest of the crap I leave it in the closet and if I really do need it I can quickly install it in seconds with titanium. By only having 6 or 10 apps vs. 200 apps for some reason my battery last much longer. You will be surprised at how many of those apps never get instaled after a week or two.

Yes, this is the same idea. However not installing them from the get go leaves so much more space for the phone to do it's job. Just saying I noticed an improvement and it worth a try. With how many times we flash from one rom to another and then restore. You all got nothing to loose.

With that many apps I can see how it would help, but damn I struggle to find 25 apps I would even want lol.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

All of my 30 apps which is few amount are more less root related resource apps that actually come in handy on a phon3 like titanium...zedge..setcpu...cpuspy...xda
..wikipedia... and maybe a game or two.
People that have more than 50 apps probably never even use them.. the most widely used part of any phone is sms txt messaging even over phone calls... and then the camera
Every other one of the million apps on android are mostly corny and useless.
Im sure there are a wide number of kool and use full ones but really think about the average app u run across.Its likely dumb!

I think the goal is to improve battery life without ultimately sacrificing user experience.
Less apps does mean less things consuming ram and activating GPS, data etc which does consumes battery tho.
Every once in a while try just enabling power saver and closing apps when you don't need them.
